I'm new and decided to write my frustrations here as well regarding my adult cystic acne. I've read posts about how difficult it is to deal with such disease for years jd I'm here crying at all these sad emotional posts because I can do relate. I've suffered acne since 2013 I was 24 and couldn't really enjoy life bcoz of it. It clears for a short period of time and comes back again. However last month was like the second worst that I've ever seen. The first was last 2014 and now it looks like it's coming back. I try and always do think positive and that it should never affect me, however there are just times that I can't help but to breakdown and cry as hard as I can bcoz can not accept the fact that I will never get my old skin back and how it hinders my goals in life. Anyway I tried different products already and don't want to go to derma anymore bcoz I think it'll not help.
start drinking herbal teas daily, they normalize hormones and cure acne
honeybrush, red raspberry leaf, milk thistle, burdock, nettle
drink 30 min before meal for better results,
avoid taking with other drugs
organic dairy and meat makes Huge difference!
raw eating cures acne by 95%!!
eat lots of fruits and veggies daily
drink buttermilk/kefir daily (heals gut flora, better skin)
apply flaxseed or rose hip oil for 30 min like mask, do daily at evenings
wash face with raw honey in the morning (great cleanser!)
write down your current skincare regim so I can help you better
Skin varies from person to person and so we need to keep on searching for whichever works or suits us the most. If we simply stop and lose the will to carry on then there won't be a solution to our problems.
I know it's hard and easier said than done that's why things like this are a good way to get ideas from others who experience the same thing. You are not alone in this battle and we'll be here for each other. We can do this! There's a rainbow always after the rain.
